Modern Document Library returns no search results

I've got multiple document libraries in their modern view. One of them, which has almost 100.000 files returns no search results.

 

All the other ones work fine.

 

The search bar on the top left gives results while typing, but not when hitting the enter button.

any idea why we cannot search this library?

 

The old search bar from the home screen (old view, top right) gives results, also from this library.

  • hi Juan, You are right but it would be nice if it becomes more dynamic :-)
    • Mmm...don't know, this search approach is everywhere...even in the new Office 365 landing page

        I agree, but we're getting off track with the purpose of my question.

        Why isnt my search returning any results within this specific library, when other libraries work fine with the same search bar?

         

        All settings are equel, but the amount of files is much much more.

        Anyone?

  • IMHO the goal / idea of quick search is just to select when typing the file you are looking for and not use Enter key. To me it's not a bug and it's working as expected (and designed)

      Well, i think its not.
      Other libraries return proper results, and if its the idea of a quick search bar, where is the normal search bar in the modern library interface?
